There are many different types of daycares in Roxbury and you should pick child care that suit both yours and your child's needs. Some providers may provide full-time care, while others provide part-time care. Not all childcare in Roxbury takes infants (12 months), some may take only toddlers (1-3 years) and preschoolers (3-5 years), so make sure you find a daycare that accommodates the age of your child.

Roxbury has many family daycares, also known as in-home daycares, are usually run from the personal home of a child care provider, and focus on caring for a smaller number of children from the surrounding neighborhood. In-home daycares in Roxbury tend to have a low student-to-caregiver ratio, meaning more personal attention for your child. The home setting also provides a “home away from home” environment that some children may find more comfortable in.

In addition to family daycares, Roxbury also has family child care centers. These are usually larger child care providers that serve a greater number of children, and may contain more shared amenities.

Each state has its own definition of when a child care program needs to attain a child care license versus when a program can operate as license-exempt, and running a child care program in Roxbury is no different. A licensed daycare program will have to meet particular requirements and pass an inspection process to be sure their home is safe for children.
